Standard Rubick's Cube

The Rubik's Cube (originally named the Magic Cube) is a cubical sequential move puzzle. First begun by Ernő Rubik, a sculptor and of architecture professor from Hungary, it was first licensed in 1980 to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp. The original style has six faces with nine stickers, colored red, blue, orange, green, yellow, and white. Formerly, there was no set position of the colors. Now, white is opposite yellow, blue is opposite green, and orange is opposite red, and the red, white and blue are arranged in that order in a clockwise arrangement.

This cube is also available as 2x2 and 4x4 rows per side, in addition to the standard 3x3 rows per side.

Group theory, a field in mathematics, is useful in developing algorithms to solve Rubik's Cube.[1]
